Facilities

The iCAMP lab houses many new technologies, many of which were developed in-house.

iCAMP, located in the Baylor College of Medicine Medical Center on the McNair Campus, a 35-acre tract adjacent to the DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, houses a state-of-the-art gait and human-performance laboratory equipped with innovative motion analyzer systems of both wearable and stationary systems. The facility is conveniently located near relevant resources for patient recruitment and patient follow-up.

The motion tracking instrumentations at the iCAMP allow for kinematic analyses, or spatial and temporal measurements of movement such as linear/angular displacements of body segments and associated velocities/accelerations. The lab is also equipped to investigate the kinetics, or forces, associated with movement. Both the forces necessary to generate movement and the resultant reactant forces applied to the body as a result of movement are of interest.

Innovative wearable technologies for assessing gait, balance, and daily motor performance (e.g. sit-to-stand) in both in-clinic and at home assessments are available for the purpose of outcomes research, fall preventions, frailty studies, pain management, etc. In addition, innovative virtual reality and sensorized devices are available for the purpose of neurorehabilitation and Exergaming studies.

The lab is fully equipped and staffed research and development for prototyping and device simulation.
